    Your logic is flawless

    When pulling skin/stretching I find it is very important to pull directly away or behind the intended stroke. So if stroke is north to south, pull from either the north or south. Pulling from East or West will cause wrinkles in the wrong direction. Also spread skin a little while pulling, so if I place three fingers touching on my skin I will then separate them a little as well as pulling with them all. Hope that was clearly written. Have had a couple of schnapps.

    I pull skin and it seems to work ok until I get just to the hump of my chin. Trying to keep the angle the same the razor stops and just seems to get hung up. I don't dare push any harder. Skin seems tight but razor pulls on it the other direction because it doesn't seem to cut the whiskers. I think I am going to my other straight to see if there is any differance at all. The last time I tried I had the same result. I tried Lynns thing with the tenis ball and didn't seem to have a problem holding the angle. I think it is just trying to figure out where exactly wtg is.

    My chin is also my heaviest hair growth. Tis also the only place I can do three passes rather than two. Once I'd figured out growth direction I do full with, diagonal and across the grain. Bbs after that. Also do lower angle than most of the rest of my face, works better with the heavier growth I find. Don't know if that's helpful. Good luck with the most difficult bit of the face.
